Wasn't going to upload a MM shot this week, but was tough to resist the challenge!

 

HMM! Contradiction

Are you wired?

Dusk view of Arginonta Village. Long exposure from a high point. Couldn't get around the wire fence. Didn't mind so much though....

The Wire Fox Terrier breed standard says they should be 'on the tip-toe of expectation at the slightest provocation.' Once a mainstay of traditional British foxhunts, today's Wire is a handsome and amusing companion and master show dog.

This morning was quite dreary but the grey skies have since cleared and it is sunny now. :)

 

This mourning dove can be found sitting on this wire all the time but if you come too close it takes off. In this case I got one shot with my iPhone and off it flew, just as I suspected.

 

I hope you all have a great weekend!

With the westbound counterpart sitting in the siding, the eastbound H-STOPVO roars across the Nevada desert. Sitting next to the tracks, old SP telephone wire still stands even years after being taken out of service.

For the theme's week I used a metallic curtain rope and twisted it as a ring.

Just like all of us.

...and cartwheels crossed the wire..."

 

(Homage to Procul Harum)

Washed up or, perhaps more likely, hauled up onto the landwash at the breakwater in Quidi Vidi Gut.

 

I went on Friday morning to see the impressive icebergs grounded a half mile out but like this picture better than what I got of the bergs. The cable is about as wide as my forearm and there seems to be about fifty feet of it there strewn in a little ditch in the rocks supporting the breakwater. I don't know what it served as but it looks like it is fifty years old or more. TransAtlantic cables and WW2 anti-submarine defenses spring to mind, but maybe it's an underwater power cable, and thus the three thick wires at the core. Perhaps it is an artefact of the US military base that existed a half mile inland from here in the 1940s and '50s. Got any guesses?

#MacroMonday "Hand Tool"

 

Distant lights filtering through trees illuminates a suspended wire on our street in this night shot.

Some rusty barbed wire on a gate. "Slightly" tweaked in Photoshop...

Barbed wire in garden around other fence wires

A possibility for Macro Mondays, cable.

 

Not a good theme for me, and a rough week, too.

Barb wire wrapping around the wodden cornerpost

24 gauge copper wire, torched ends to form balls then enameled. Under ball the heat caused oxidation (dark) and below that the true copper color.

my neighbor had wire all over the yard stripping it for copper but all i saw was 'all the pretty colors'

While on a June, 5-day, river trip with some friends, we camped at one of the spots near the Wire Fence rapid. Of course, going on trips like this means I will bring all my photo toys with me, too!

 

The night was clear, and the moon was not out, so I decided to try to capture some Milky Way images in an area behind the camp that was not obstructed by trees.

 

I used a D750 with a 14-24mm Nikor lens (love this lens! Its the one that stay on my Nikon bodies the most!). I wanted to catch the MW arch over the rock formation in the distance. To do this, I did a panoramic at 9 positions (left to right). To reduce noise and have a sharper star image, I captured 4 frames at each position (all RAW). Then took a longer exposure for the foreground - not too much, because I wanted the foreground to be dark as I saw it, but still show some detail.

 

When I got home, I stacked each image in Sequator, and then take the produced Tiff files and stitched these using Photoshop.

 

A little adjustments in Photoshop to bring out the tones that I wanted, and the result is this image! A bonus for that night is the nice, greenish, air glow, too!

 

Anyway, there you go!

Happy Fence Friday!

Twisted wires. HMM! For Macro Mondays- Twisted.
